ash fork && the beatles bar

ash fork is an amazing american diner about twenty minutes away from campus.

after the mt. hiei trip, my friends and i ate DELICIOUS cheeseburgers. nothing about them was japanese, and it was WONDERFUL. i usually never eat cheeseburgers. i ate a cheeseburger. i hate mustard. i ate it with mustard anyway. i've never had coleslaw. i tried coleslaw. there was just something about the atmosphere of this restaurant that made me want to be as "american" as i could and forget about this crazy country.

there were eleven of us, so we were split up into two tables side by side. at one point, i looked over at the others and started crying. it felt like we were just a big group of friends hanging out in the states. but we weren't. and i wished that we were. yet despite all that, i was so thankful to have had a night like last night.

after ash fork, we went to a beatles bar. the service was sooo slow, and the waitress was rude. furthermore, the music was hardly loud enough. but i had such a great time with my friends that none of it mattered. i had two fruity drinks (peach liqueur + pineapple juice & a peachy fizz), so i was a happy camper ^_^

seriously though, f*ck japan sometimes.
